My name is
Alina Basova
and I'm a Front-end developer

About me

I’m a professional front-end web developer based in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Currently I work in Luxoft - international company outsourcing services for enterprise IT organizations and software vendors. I work there in a big multinational team, following Scrum rules, developing redesigned version and supporting current website for Swedish e-commerce client. I create and modifying layouts and rich, reusable, responsive cross-browser UI components, integrating them with Java backend, using popular front-end technologies such as jQuery, Gulp and Sass CSS. I am also absolutely in love with HTML5 and CSS3 and enjoy leaning something very different like ASP.NET, C#, SQL and MongoDB.

However, I am potentially open to new opportunities if they are of interest to me. I would also like to declare myself as an eternal student because I am passionate about keeping my knowledge up to date.

I was responsible for front-end side of Sitecore's products on Sitecore CMS. I was making HTML/CSS mockups using LESS CSS. Every day I encountered new challenges, which enhances my knowledge of JavaScript and popular frameworks like Underscore.js, jQuery and Angular.js. I created cross-browser code in IDEs like Microsoft Studio and by hand in text editors like Sublime Text.

I was working in this leading software development company for about half a year, taking beautiful photoshop files and converting them to W3C valid HTML5 / CSS. It was an amazing experience working with such a friendly and advanced team. They taught me how to work on large scale projects with many developers using tools such as Git, Mercurial, Jira, Redmine.

I therefore have much experience in promotion and business development too in addtion to my technical skillset. I have the confidence and capability to develop my knowledge for any given situation, and can meet a deadline for a project.

Sitecore DocSite

Recently released project, which is a storage for Sitecore 8 technical documentation. We are building it using ASP.NET MVC. For client side we are using Angular.js. It’s fully responsive and supports all major browsers. I also took part in creating design for this website.

Presentation

Whilst working closely with back-end developers in different projects I noticed some similar mistakes they made when they wrote client-side code. I thought it would be useful to give them some advice to improve their knowledge in this area. I wrote a presentation in HTML5 with CSS3 3D animation and presented it to developers in Sitecore – which I’ve got great feedback for.

Sample portfolio

My personal project, which I created for experiments with web-design, JavaScript and ASP.NET back-end. For the demo I faked Ajax requests. This website is fully responsive and supports all major browsers.

Roi inc.

Using only HTML and CSS I managed to create this functional page in just a few days. Animation is achieved by CSS and works in all popular web browsers. For the main picture I used PNG mask to be able to change picture with JavaScript in the future. Design of this page belongs to Sunny CT, I've taken it just to show my skills.

Tamagotchi

I'm big fan of Codepen, because it helps to create and share amazing things. It inspired me to make this cute tamagotchi, using only pure JavaScript without any libraries and images. Go to my codepen and play with it. He will be happy!

Ecovision

Website for construction company Ecovision. I created HTML/CSS/JavaScript for this website, built on WordPress CMS. Main features that I'm proud of is the interactive image of the house with lightboxes appearing on click and CSS3 animations.
